Uncle Ken will always be in our hearts. This world lost an amazing man who inspired so many to do their best and stand up for what is right. Heaven gained an angel who deserves to be at rest, without pain, and united with his loved ones. We miss you Ken, you will always be one we look up to and miss with each waking day. Love you forever

His love, devotion to family and friends, honesty, and integrity, just a few things that come to mind when I think of my Uncle Ken.....A man of great strength and fortitude, a man who always made a person feel worthwhile and loved, thank you Ken, for all you instilled in myself and our family as we grew up....You will be missed greatly, but comfort for us is knowing you are at peace. You will always be in our hearts...love you forever

Sherry, Dave and family,

I am so sorry for your loss, expected or not..it is always hard. You had incredible parents Sherry, the type you will always miss...but because they were so incredible, the hurt will hopefully be diminished by cherished memories as time goes on. I know that nothing I say can really diminish the pain of such a loss...but I hope you know you are all in my thoughts and prayers...and that Uncle Ken's spirit will live on always through the lives of all the many people he encouraged, laughed with, loved and touched during his time here on earth
love you....

Will miss you always Uncle Ken. You always reminded me so much of my grandpa...and I am so grateful you were there to encourage me to finish at the university and always supportive of my goals and dreams. I am grateful I got to see you and reminisce with you at the Wedgewood Broiler a couple times over the past few years. You will always be in my heart...
